Question: What is the fatwa about Ahlul Kitab? Are they ritually pure (Tahir)?

Answer: The Ahlul Kitab (that is, the Christians, the Jews and the Zoroastrians) are ritually pure (Tahir) as long as you do not know that they have become ritually impure (najis) by coming into contact with an impure object. 

Ayatollah Al-Sayyid Ali Al-Husseini Al-Sistani
